Golden Era Petrel 1979

Golden Era Petrel – Timeless Herreshoff Elegance Meets Modern Convenience Unveiled in 1977, the Golden Era Petrel seamlessly combines the classic beauty of New England yacht design with the robust, low-maintenance benefits of contemporary fiberglass construction. At 20.75 feet, this graceful pocket cruiser closely mirrors the iconic Herreshoff Fish Class, a design celebrated for its artistry by the legendary Nathanael Greene Herreshoff. Originally designed in 1916 at the renowned Herreshoff shipyard in Bristol, Rhode Island, the Fish Class was envisioned as a larger, more powerful, and drier counterpart to the famed Herreshoff 12½. Its stunning proportions, remarkable sailing performance, and enduring aesthetic quickly secured its status among New England's classic yachts. By meticulously replicating the original hull lines, Golden Era Boats of Noank, Connecticut, has captured the quintessential features that made the Fish Class so revered, including its elegant spoon bow, graceful sheer line, and unique heart-shaped transom. The outcome is a breathtaking daysailer that embodies the charm and sophistication of its wooden predecessor while offering the durability and ease of fiberglass. A quintessential classic, the Golden Era Petrel allows sailors to embrace a piece of American yachting history while enjoying the practicality and reliability that modern boating enthusiasts seek.
